<p>The important thing is that y'all have a system that works. I only weighed in because <span class="user-mention silent" data-user-id="116266">Santiago Pastorino</span> asked.

<p>Is there a mechanism in place to ensure that, if the priority <em>was</em> lowered and I got hit by a bus before I could open a beta backport, the next stable release would be blocked until the issue was fixed on beta?</p>

</blockquote>
<p>on the other hand issues on the issue tracker usually track mainly what happens on master, not what happens on beta or stable. As in issues are opened and generally closed when a PR lands on master. We don’t keep them open because they are not yet on beta, stable. Following this reasoning, this is not critical anymore on master. We do track beta/stable backports with nominations and this is already nominated and accepted. But what I find great about this conversation is that we clearly need to define something that makes more sense for everyone and works 😊</p>

<p>in particular, I can see <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="118594">@ecstatic-morse</span> 's point that it seems weird to lower the priority of something that is still buggy on beta and doesn't have a backport open. but at the same time ...</p>

<p>... from my point-of-view, the main point of the P-labels is to assign a priority to how often we need to check in on an issue, and how much time to dedicate to it collectively</p>

<p>An issue that has a PR against nightly that is beta-backport approved seems like something that is well in hand, and does not need the same urgency of check-in's that other P-critical issues might</p>

<p>so: What are Pro's/Con's of system as it stands (where we more eagerly demote P-critical issues): Pro: It helps keep the set of P-critical issues small. (Note that as <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116266">@Santiago Pastorino</span>  already pointed out, we have systems in place to ensure that we check on those regressions status)</p>
